Marinus Pharmaceuticals Announces Nine Presentations and Virtual Investor Event at American Epilepsy Society 2021 Annual Meeting

Marinus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNS), a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of innovative therapeutics to treat rare seizure disorders, today announced that nine abstracts highlighting clinical trial and research data have been accepted for poster presentation at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting being held in Chicago, Illinois, from December 3 through 7, 2021.

“Alongside new quality of life and extended safety and efficacy data of ganaxolone in CDKL5 deficiency disorder—our lead indication currently under FDA review—we look forward to highlighting data in tuberous sclerosis complex and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome that we believe support our clinical development plans in both indications,” said Scott Braunstein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Marinus Pharmaceuticals. “In addition, we’re pleased to share new data from the growing body of evidence supporting the use of IV ganaxolone in the acute care setting, with a quantitative EEG analysis and case studies of patients in super-refractory status epilepticus that further demonstrate the potential of ganaxolone in treating seizure disorders.”

AES is the premier event for epilepsy professionals in academia, clinical practice, industry and patient advocacy. The Annual Meeting is also available virtually through AES 2021 Digital Select.
